Hey, one bad game as a Freshman in a place were he could get beat. I'm still all in on KW.
But would it have been called?
Fears closed out quick. He made the winning play and passed. Ball stuck with Big Z. MSU defended that well.
Tomi might have pulled a rabbit out of a hat there. Z wasn’t ready to shoot.
Would have given MSU a chance to just foul us when we inbounded. I didn't mind us not calling a TO in that situation.
I can't believe how many time Keaton got fouled and not called. Fears gets touched foul. We played tough. Didn't give up and Jake has ice in his veins.
Alot more positives than negatives. We went up a tough rebounding team and learned we have far more to improve in that area. Other teams are copying Purdue and beating us off the dribble for 2 point shots from point guards. That won't happen when Kylan comes back. But most importantly, this team doesn't have to deping that Keaton Wagler to win. They can play with every team in the country whether he plays well or not.

Life on the road in the B1G. Fears felt a breath and got the whistle. If Wagler got the whistles Fears got, the Illini likely win in regulation.
This one will hurt for a day, but opportunities to kill a Badger and Hoosier next week.

It says Illinois one timeout on my screen.
The “redemption game” line from Bennetti was awful. He tried to save himself a minute later but only made it worse
We all know who wins that game if we were 100% healthy
He's the only reason we're all here. That's not something that you joke about...
When their big men are allowed to screen for him by holding our interior players what are you supposed to do?
I totally agree. I couldn't believe those ticky tack fouls they called on us when Michigan State was mauling our players.
Not gonna win many with your best player going 2-16.
Too much Fears down the stretch. I thought IL played MSU the way you have to. They dorked Carr, played 3-4 guys in the lane. But MSU just won it with fast break points and free throws. They garbage hustled their way to a win.
I still think IL still has a good outlook for the year.
Great game Mirk.
Great job by Davis hitting those 2 FTs.
Just one of those nights. Hope a game like this doesn’t happen in the NCAA tourney.
Let’s see how Wagler responds. This is the first adversity he’s had all year.

You can't convince me that Izzo isn't a piece of ****. Everything he says rings hollow.
Lately we've been playing smart, confident and making good shot selection. There was not enough of that tonight. Michigan State played with confidence and purpose and got the win. Learn from this and on to the next one.
We got their best shot. We were due for a clunker.
But this game was decided by 3 calls in overtime:
1. Touch foul on Tomi
2. Mirk gets clobbered no call
3. Fears jumps into Andrej for the and one.
Ball game.
Figured we would have to win 5 on 8 and that turned out to be the case. Needed at least our B+ game tonight and didn’t get it. Happens.
I’m just glad we got out of there with no injuries/suspensipns. 2/3 of @Purdue, Nebraska and @Sparty is outstanding.
Let’s get Kylan back, get him up to speed and go on a run. Team should be p***** off.

The hyperbole is strong in this one.
This one hurts. Zebras made the difference on the last Tomi phantom foul followed by the no call on Mirk’s drive.
I guess this kills the narrative that somehow Kylan should have a smaller role when he gets back. We could have used his defense and ball handling tonight.

You can’t play basketball when you know it’s 8 on 5.. or when th other players bait and flop for 40 minutes. It’s a disgraceful product.
I don't follow other teams boards so I may be wrong . But I can't believe the blaming the refs story. It happens after every loss. The refs did not cost the win. We are the better. team but stuff happens on the road in a good conference. So you all keep crying. I will move on knowing that there are maybe six teams that can beat this team on a neutral court.
